In its quest to strengthen its structures ahead of the 2026 governorship polls, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has set up three committees “that would put impetus into the party.”
According to a statement by the party’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, the committees are for reconciliation, appeal and discipline.
Recall that the national leadership of APC, led by a former Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Adamu, in 2022 visited Osogbo, the Osun capital, to reconcile aggrieved members of the party but it did not yield desired results.
Also, a committee headed by former Minister of Health, Dr. Isaac Adewole was set up at the state level to reinvigorate the party.
However, to further put the party on track of progress, Alhaji Sule Aderemi from Boripe local government council was picked as the chairman of the Reconciliation Committee, while the members are Elder J. A. Oni from Atakumosa East local government council; and Ademola Akeem Adesina from Irepodun local government council.
“Other members of the Reconciliation Committee are Dupe Ajayi from Obokun Local Government; Sola Ogunfolaju from Ayedaade Local Government Council Area; Bisi Odewumi from Ife North Local Government Area while Bisi Ogunkale from Ayedire Local Government Council Area will serve as the Secretary of the committee.
The chairman of the Appeal Committee is Biodun Awolola from Egbedore Local Government Council Area; Dauda Akinwole from Ife-East Local Government Area (member) and Yele Akintola from Ilesa East Local Government Area (member).
“Other members of the Appeal Committee are Abiodun Idowu from Ifedayo Local Government (Secretary); Liadi Ganiyu from Iwo Local Government(member; Olagoke Akinwemimo from Irewole Local Government Area(member) and Alhaja Fausa Aderinlewo from Ife South Local Government Council Area (member).
“Basiru Awotorebo from Ife East Local Government Council Area is the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee while the members are: Prince Olusoji Ajayi from Irewole Local Government Council Area; Mrs Musilimotu Raheem from Olorunda Local Government Council Area and Bolaji Akinloye from Ola-Oluwa Local Government Council Area.
“The other members of the Disciplinary Committee are Adegoke Lateef Ige from Ejigbo Local Government; Akeem Okunade Olounda Local Government Council Area (Secretary) and Aliu Akinloye from Odo-Otin Local Government Council Area,” it read.
Olabisi said the Secretary of the party, Alao Kamoru, disclosed that the date of the inauguration of the three committees would be communicated to the members at a later date.
“Alao also stated that the terms of reference of each of the committees shall be spelt out to the members on the day of the inauguration.
“The state party secretary congratulated the members of the three committees, praying that God would use them for the improvement of the fortune of the APC with a view to accomplishing its collective mission,” he said
